33/ beach





I thought I'd only put my digital art here,
but why not photos, too, since most are made up of photos.






these date from before my digital cameras,
there is a difference I think






one thing is that I went to the beach almost every day,
then, so caught many moods






Also there is a difference when the aim is to get reference
for paintings, rather than as an end result.

32/ buddha




Read on at least one site that today is
the Buddha Jayanti.
That is the celebration of his birth, enlightenment &
nirvana. A kind of strange one, when to be
'enlightened' is meant to be beyond birth, death
& all dualities.
A nice thing to celebrate, nonetheless.

30/ vision




This is the first one I've completed on the Mac, though
the separate photographs date from different trips to Thailand.
Had my eyes tested yesterday, pleased to discover
there is not much change.

29/ exercising




It's really giving my internal memory banks
a workover, to be moving frequently between
the pc & mac, today I lost the one above
through carelessness, had to finish it again.






& this was more complicated than it looks, as the bricks in
the wall are in perspective ~ when I matched those behind
the buddha in another photo, he became elongated.
Will look at it again in a few days, not sure it's finished.

28/ spangled drongo




This came about because I'd fluked a nightlights shot that
resembles notes of music. Put a few different ones
together for the background, with two shots of the same
buddha.

27/ faded glory




To me, this is like memory: some details hardly there,
other parts in the foreground for no special reason,
the whole looking like a random cross-reference ~
although this is carefully thought through.. as much as
one can say that.. the synapses spark along that
particular route for who knows why, then some other
part of the brain makes up a story. Isn't it so?

26/ first from iMac




Although I made these 3 on my old pc,
this is the first time I've posted from the iMac






it's all slower in that I'm getting to know it/am a slow learner
& a little nervous to do the wrong thing






that's why I've made another version of the flaming swords
(protection !).
